“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19.

Pain comes and goes in all our lives…but the omnipotence and grace of God heals all things in due time. Unfortunately, it is possible to get suck in our pain, that is when we continuously rehearse the negative or unable to move forward; painful experiences can hinder our spiritual and physical wellbeing when we are reluctant to let go and trust in God’s power to strengthen and heal us!

Isaiah’s prophetic words, sent by God to the Church is one of comfort and assurance, an admonition to take hold of the new things that He is doing: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19.

Physical illnesses, spiritual warfare, grief, emotional or financial losses, along with various trials and tribulations can cause undesired pain; yet God steps in and heals all things miraculously in His timing…it is a blessing when we can recognize that if we fall on our knees in prayer, casting all our cares on Him… His amazing grace will deliver, give peace, and keep us through it all. “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7.

My friends, we can rest assured that the healing will come; during a recent illness, I was given CPR and as a result had two large bruises on each side of my chest, and for some time experienced excruciating pain on my left side or ribs… the bruises have finally faded away and the pain is a distant memory; but what I do hold close to my heart, and choose to focus on is how our gracious and Almighty Heavenly Father protected me and brought me through one more time; and I can faithfully depend on His mercies which are new every morning!

Don’t get stuck in your pain… let past hurts and experiences be overshadowed with God’s comforting grace and miraculously healing; He is creating a new thing in you, something far beyond what your eyes can see! “Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; The end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.” Psalm 30:11-12.

Praise and honor and glory be to God for the things He has done, is doing, and will do!
